its central location and its ample hotel facilities nearly all of the national committeemen favored chi cago on account of its geographical advan tages and also because it offers in addi tion to the hotel facilities buildings largo enough to house the gathering of delegates from all the states it was decided to hold the national con vention of the independence party after the meeting of the conventions of the democratic and republican parties in o d<>r to take advantage of the plans of these two parties and also to take in ac count the candidates offered to the peo ple it was also believed by the nationa l committeemen that the latter part of july was an ideal date for the convention is it will introduce the party at once into a vigorous campaign preliminaiy now under way

the opinions of uational comm't teemen regarding the time and place for holding the convention are the follow iug w h hoffman of louisiana Chicago is a good town centrally located and easy to reach by the delegates but why uot select new orleans new orleans is the coming town of the united states but you know i the man who does not boom his owu town and try to advance it above all others lacks

its central location and its ample hotel facilities nearly all of the national committeemen favored chi cago on account of its geographical advan tages and also because it offers in addi tion to the hotel facilities buildings largo enough to house the gathering of delegates from all the states it was decided to hold the national con vention of the independence party after the meeting of the conventions of the democratic and republican parties in o d<>r to take advantage of the plans of these two parties and also to take in ac count the candidates offered to the peo ple it was also believed by the nationa l committeemen that the latter part of july was an ideal date for the convention is it will introduce the party at once into a vigorous campaign preliminaiy now under way

the opinions of uational comm't teemen regarding the time and place for holding the convention are the follow iug w h hoffman of louisiana Chicago is a good town centrally located and easy to reach by the delegates but why uot select new orleans new orleans is the coming town of the united states but you know i the man who does not boom his owu town and try to advance it above all others lacks civic pride and patriotism which should be the prime essentials of members of our party but i am willing to abide the view of the majority william n osgood massachusetts chi cago all things considered would be the best place although there might be senti mental and historical argumcuts iu favor of holding the tirst conventiou of the party iu au old and historic city fanueil halt boston would be an ideal piace but of course too far east h w diffenderffer oklahoma i would prefer st louis if not st louis then Chicago in the latter part of july many prefer Chicago m w howard alabama Chicago will be a satisfactory place for the national conventiou and the latter part of july will suit me as to time c a waish iowa i consider Chicago the best place and the time should be a reasonable time after the
